Top-down and bottom-up aerosol-cloud closure: towards understanding sources of uncertainty in deriving cloud shortwave radiative flux
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2017-08-22)
Top-down and bottom-up aerosol-cloud shortwave radiative flux closures were conducted at the Mace Head Atmospheric Research Station in Galway, Ireland, in August 2015. This study is part of the BACCHUS (Impact of Biogenic ...
Sophisticated clean air strategies required to mitigate against particulate organic pollution
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-03-17)
Since the 1980's, measures mitigating the impact of transboundary air pollution have been implemented successfully as evidenced in the 1980-2014 record of atmospheric sulphur pollution over the NE-Atlantic, a key region ...
Volcanic sulphate and arctic dust plumes over the North Atlantic Ocean
(Elsevier, 2009)
High time resolution aerosol mass spectrometry measurements were conducted during a field campaign at Mace Head Research Station, Ireland, in June 2007. Observations on one particular day of the campaign clearly indicated ...
Improved simulation of small electron fields for external beam radiation therapy
(2009)
This paper reports on improved simulation of small
electron fields from a Siemens Primus linear accelerator.
Accelerator simulation was performed using the Monte Carlo
user code BEAMnrc. Source and geometry parameters ...
Understanding the changes of cone reflectance in adaptive optics flood illumination retinal images over three years
(Optical Society of America, 2016)
Although there is increasing interest in the investigation of cone reflectance variability, little is understood about its characteristics over long time scales. Cone detection and its automation is now becoming a fundamental ...
Characterising glyphosate exposures among amenity horticulturists using multiple spot urine samples
(Elsevier, 2018-07-08)
Background
Glyphosate has recently received much public attention following its Group 2A probably carcinogenic to humans classification from the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Despite the widespread ...
Performance review of multiple reference versus time domain optical coherence tomography
(IEEE, 2018-04-19)
We present a detailed characterization of noise sources in multiple reference optical coherence tomography (MR-OCT) compared to time-domain OCT (TD-OCT). The noise characteristics were modeled based on the TD-OCT noise ...
Refinement and validation of an exposure model for the pharmaceutical industry
(2011)
Objectives: Assessment of worker's exposure is becoming increasingly critical in the pharmaceutical industry as drugs of higher potency are being manufactured. The batch nature of operations often makes it difficult to ...
Monte Carlo commissioning of clinical electron beams using large field measurements
(Institute Of Physics (IOP Publishing), 2010-07-21)
Monte Carlo simulation can accurately calculate electron fluence at the patient surface and the resultant dose deposition if the initial source electron beam and linear accelerator treatment head geometry parameters are ...
